Chapter 41 Death and Rebirth
At noon, the sun was shining brightly and many people came to old Raymond's funeral.
There were only a few blacksmith shops in Nasir, and old Raymond's skills were recognized as top-notch, even his younger and stronger son could not match him.
A few years ago, the once tall and majestic old man gradually lost himself due to aging, as if he was gradually disappearing. Even Irene could not cure "aging" itself.
The funeral was held in the Sun Church. There were few people who believed in the Sun Church in Nasir, so the Sun Church was not very large.
Old Raymond lay quietly in the coffin, his aged face revealing traces of time, his white hair like silver threads covering his pale head, deep wrinkles carved between his forehead and the corners of his eyes. He seemed to be no longer tired and worried, lying there comfortably waiting for God to take away his soul that was about to pass away.
It was everyone's turn to say goodbye to the old man in the coffin, and Irene, dressed in a black robe, walked up calmly.
The little girl is now the head of a secret cult family, but old Raymond never knew the secret of the sudden rise of the Fisher family until his death.
Irene looked down at the very familiar old man, her eyes slightly red, as if she was mumbling to herself, or praying:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Raymond. I hope you can find eternal peace in the quiet world. The great Lord of the Lost will protect your soul."
Byrne and Margaret also came, and they were already a well-known couple.
Over the past year, many people in Nasir have been impressed by Margaret's boldness, strength, and arrogance, but now her most noticeable feature is her big belly.
In fact, many people in the Hoffmann family behind Margaret did not agree with their marriage, even her brother Baron Hoffmann himself supported it.
Because except for the siblings, all family members felt that Byrne, who was just a knight, was not worthy of Margaret. What's more, the Fisher family was just a nouveau riche from a small place.
In today's era, the importance of bloodline identity and matching is self-evident. Byrne's "upward behavior" made many people sneer behind his back.
However, Margaret's way of going her own way against her family was simple and easy to understand: she got pregnant without permission.
When this matter was publicly exposed, her old mother was so angry that she fainted on the ground. If Byrne had not run fast, his legs would have been broken on the spot by his father-in-law.
He really wanted to say that he was forced by Margaret, but few people would believe him.
The tall Xiu, with red eyes, talked to the people who came to the funeral one by one.
When he saw several members of the Fisher family, he forced a sad smile.
"My father is very grateful to you. He really regained consciousness during the last period. Thank you for your help to the Raymond family over the years."
Irene nodded and said, "Those are what we should do. Thank you for your hard work, Xiu."
"No, nothing..."
Xiu Gang had just finished speaking when he suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears, and everyone rushed to comfort him.
"ah!"
Suddenly Margaret screamed, closed her eyes, and couldn't help but grab Byrne's shoulder with one hand, causing Byrne to grit his teeth in pain.
"My stomach, my stomach hurts, my stomach!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then became busy in a panic.
Irene quickly confirmed one thing through the power of the healing rune: Margaret was not suffering from a sudden illness, but was really about to give birth!
She said quickly, "Sorry, sorry, we have to leave first! I'm so sorry!"
Xiu of course expressed his understanding, and the Fisher family hurriedly left and rushed to the only hospital in the town.
It was too early. Margaret was originally expected to give birth in half a month, but somehow it suddenly came earlier.
Irene went to help deliver Margaret along with the doctors and nurses.
Screams continued to be heard. The family's servants and guards were waiting outside anxiously. Byrne was like a madman, pacing back and forth, taking deep breaths again and again, and his mind was blank like never before.
"Calm down, Byrne."
Six-year-old Chris suddenly reached out and grabbed Byrne, saying expressionlessly, "It's not your child."
Byrne was stunned. Chris usually didn't talk much, but once he opened his mouth, people couldn't help but feel that he was indeed a weird kid.
Time seemed to slow down extremely. Byrne stood there sweating profusely, quietly waiting for the arrival of the new member of the Fisher family.
He suddenly had an extremely strange and weird feeling about what happened today.
Death is always followed by rebirth.
That may be the true meaning of "inheritance"
At the same time, no one noticed a calm gaze from the sky.
Carl's consciousness was invisibly looking down at the Fisher family from above, including the hard-working Irene, the anxious Byrne, and the calm Chris.
He could feel a new consciousness becoming increasingly connected to himself.
It's a wonderful feeling. A life comes into being from nothing in a world that is not ready to welcome him, and he is completely unprepared and is about to embark on his own journey.
The blood fate passed down from generation to generation in the Fischer family, the predecessors passed away and the descendants were reborn.
Generation after generation will pass through history, Fischer will engrave the family name, and will eventually bring about a true revival for himself.
finally.
“Wow wow wow wow wow!”
A loud voice suddenly appeared in the hospital, and everyone in the Fisher family cheered!
Byrne's expression also became extremely excited. He kept muttering to himself, thanking his wife and cousin, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
The child Margaret gave birth to was a boy who looked like a very fragile little animal, with a complex red mark on the back of his hand.
According to what had been decided long ago, the boy's name was Darren Fisher, and his name meant "someone with the potential to achieve great things."
Everyone else thought that the so-called great cause meant making the Fisher family a true aristocratic family.
Only Byrne, Irene and Chris understood how complex and ambitious the "big business" referred to in the name was.
The new generation of the Fisher family has finally arrived, and everyone is immersed in joy. Byrne comes to Lucius's grave and calmly tells a lot of stories.
Over the past year, Byrne has successfully developed a new medicine specifically for restoring people's energy. It has a very low cost and is widely sold, perfectly fulfilling his bet with Mr. King, and subsequently further developing his pharmaceutical business.
Today, the Fisher family has a stable income of about 17 gold coins every month. After deducting various expenses, the family currently has a total of 175 gold coins in assets.
Unfortunately, neither Byrne nor Irene have been able to successfully digest the current potion.
Moreover, the first two levels of sequence power are relatively easy to step onto. Starting from the third level, not only extraordinary materials are required, but also "rituals", and the difficulty of advancement becomes much greater.
As for whether to give Chris sequence power, they all felt that the child was too young and would be better able to master extraordinary powers when he was ten years old.
A few days later, late at night, in the basement, Irene and Byrne had to discuss a serious issue: whether to tell Margaret the secret about the Fisher family?
Irene shook her head in a low voice and said calmly:
"If it was a few years ago, I would have agreed to tell everything without hesitation, and even thought it didn't matter whether I drank the 'blood' or not. But after gaining more experience, I won't agree so easily."
"The six major orthodox churches have an extreme hatred for heretical groups. If she reports us or accidentally leaks the secret, everyone in the Fisher family will be completely wiped out."
She paused here, but continued firmly and mercilessly:
"So, I still stick to the principles that were set originally. The consent of three core family members is required to recruit new members into Dawn, and all followers of the cult must consume the blood of the Fisher family."
Byrne was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder, "It will take the consent of the three core family members. Do you mean we have to wait until Chris grows up?"
Erin nodded and continued calmly, "I think with Chris's maturity level, he will be able to participate in decision-making in a few years."
Byrne did not deny this. Although Chris was taciturn, he was indeed very reliable and sensible, even to the point of being "weird".
"Okay, let's wait a few more years for this matter. After all, it's a matter of great importance. At this stage, we need to test her views on faith first."
After the conversation, he quickly returned to his wife. Unless it was necessary, Byrne almost didn't want to be away from Margaret and his children.
